Very recently, i read it from OG-11 that "double what it was in.." construction is awkward and wordy. I'm not sure how different it is from "twice what it was in..", but i guess this would also be awkward w.r.t GMAT standards if "double what it was in.." is awkward.

hey the option of 1 st is C and second one is A.

The source is brutal SC test from GMAT club.

Regarding first SC, in MGMAT SC Guide i read the following...hope it will help:

1) If you want to relate quantities by multiplication, use "times and as...as..." together.
Example: The man is FIVE TIMES AS OLD AS his grandson  Right
The man is FIVE TIMES OLDER THAN his grandson  Wrong
The first sentence means that man's age= 5*his grandson's age.
In the second example, the author is technically saying that the man is 6 times as old as his grandson.
2) Use "times without as or than" to indicate direct multiplication. (Twice means two times)
Examples: 1) The cost of the ticket is 12$, SIX TIMES the cost ten years ago.
2) The concert was attended by 300 people, TWICE the previous attendance.

The logic behind second one is not known....any help will be greatly appreciated.
